...carefully polled attacks on dirty hospitals, landgrabs by "gypsies," excessive numbers of immigrants and politically correct restraints on police. The Tories' chief strategist, Lynton Crosby, reportedly calls them "dog-whistle" issues: they cut through the noise of a campaign to make an emotional impact most resonant with true believers. At a press conference last week that focused on "yobs," louts whose behavior has shown up in polls as a big issue, Howard used the word "fear" eight times, as in "I want to make yobs fear the police." The association of police chiefs criticized the Tories' use of crime statistics...
...Years later, Lovelace would publish an autobiography, Ordeal, in which she charged Traynor with all manner of brutality: he beat her, threatened her, forced her into Deep Throat and a lesser known but more infamous loop where she has sex with a dog. She found unlikely allies in the feminist movement, who took her case as prima-facie sexual victimhood. In 1986 Linda testified before Congress about her performance in Deep Throat, charging that "Virtually every time someone watches that movie, they're watching me being raped...
...Other hard-core workers interviewed in The Other Hollywood dispute some of the Lovelace charges, including that she showed any reluctance to make the girl-meets-dog film. But there's no doubt Linda's life was mostly rough. She had scars on her body from car crashes, of which she endured at least three, including the one that killed her in 2002, when she was 53. An unhappy, possibly abused child, she left home early and had the ill luck to meet Traynor, about whom no one speaks with much affection. He sounds like an expert exploiter. She wrote...

He turned out to be one of the most successful artists to emerge from the '80s. His 1992 Puppy, a 43-ft.-high dog made of flowering plants, is probably one of the most widely seen outdoor works of our time. He's at work on a project called Train for a site in Paris where a crane will suspend a locomotive steam engine 80 ft. above the ground, with its nose pointed straight...
...with the astringent minimalism of the prior decade. All those no-nonsense Donald Judd boxes--it was only a matter of time before a new generation came along to scribble on blank slates. That was how it felt when Basquiat's bright, hectic canvases started appearing. In Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump, an '82 picture in the Brooklyn show, he applied broad washes of pigment in a way that suggests a cross between Willem de Kooning's surfs of color and any kid's finger paintings. The boy is then built up out of a host of ragged gestures...
